A memorial stone for Issac Hall has been placed in the Cooper Wells section of Cedar Hill (Vicksburg City Cemetery).


From Booth's Index to Louisiana Confederate Soldiers at:

There are two Halls listed in Booth's Index, but your compiler believes these may be the same man. The regiment/unit and date of enrollment are the same. The "discharged" date is taken from the

"J" Hall. Actually, this is a large i for Issac. See cards below.

Hall, J.. Pvt. Co. E, 27th La. Inf. En. March 14, _, New Orleans. Roll for July to Nov., 1862. Died July 20 at Miss. Springs.

Hall, Isaac [sic]. Pvt. Co. E, 27th La. Inf. En. March 14, 1862. New Orleans, La. Roll for March, 1862, to May, 1862 (Roll No. 1). Present. Roll for March to May, 1862 (Roll No. 2), Discharged July 20, 1862.

This is the back or title section of the document below. It is a four-fold document  -- note the fold creases each side.

Note, too, capital I and its similarity to a capital j.

 



 
Left, the back or title section of the document below. It is a four-fold document -- note the fold crease on the right hand side.

This is the "Application of Mary Hall widow of Isaac [sic] Hall decd late private in Capt Campbell's Company E 27 Reg. La Vols for arrears of pay due her late husband."

Left, notations concerning "I Hall."

See how the capital i resembles a capital j.

This is a request, dated 20 Apr 1863, for the amount of money that is owed to Isaac Hall and will be paid to his widow Mary Hall.

 

Because it is possible the J Hall cards in the Issac Hall compiled service record are a result of misreading a j for an i, your compiler has borrowed a portion of an image at

to illustrate how the 19th century handwriting often handles the capital i and capital j
